11.20.20/20. Distant Wavves. The Rona has had me going through photos of bodies of water. I love the sea. I'm most peaceful near water/in water. I miss traveling and have been fiendin' to dip out of this country for sunnier shores and clear water. I took inspiration from photos I've taken over the years in different space throughout the globe and created 12 instrumental pieces to accompany those images, imaginings of being back in those spaces. My brother @substantialmusic served as A&R/EP/Ear providing both candor and encouragement. The homie @sainteezekiel provides tasteful riffs on the song Wavves. My family provided the agency to complete these works in granting me space/time when creating or kirking out. I appreciate all of the aforementioned not only for what they have given but for being willing participants in the creation of art in this time. This is dedicated to Bean (I miss you slim). You can pre-order the jont. Link up top, bandcamp button. Tap in. Zone out. Easy. #distantwavves #newmusic #recordsonrecords #fujifilmxt3 #iphonephoto #weoutchea #hechoenDC (at Deanwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEWjrTaBm0V/?igshid=1vb3p0pe2rqtq

📷 @mageescamera Covid-19/the 1-9/the Rona/etal. is wreaking havoc on the creative ecosystems throughout the world. It's not just the artists, DJ's and bands, it's also the managers, venues, booking agents, publicists, designers, makeup artists, stylists, techs, roadies, sound persons, hospitality, photographers, videographers, agents, etc. it's everybody from the person picking you up at the airport, to the person who rents you the van, it's the runners and the fixers. It's those that make and sell your merchandise. Everyone is affected. Personally my gigs are all up in the air. I've lost some and some are holding on until the last minute. As a musician you have @musicares that will support during tragedies in your life from substance abuse, replacing equipment, paying a bill and making sure you have a safe and sober space at the shows. They are a national resource. For every person in DC i believe that monies should be made available for creatives and the ancillary supporting service industries in this creative ecosystem that make up this gig economy. Say a prayer, help a neighbor, check on your folks,Keep your head, Wash your hands and cover your mouth. be safe outchea. Hit @listenlocaldc and DM them a message. #weoutchea #dcnatives #madeindc #hechoendc (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qH_BDnw9M/?igshid=1905d1r31u7ra

The last piece in the HUBRI$ project is AGAIN. Again is about reconciliation and reincarnation. No matter your belief system, the opportunity for a second chance appears in writings from The Abrahamic religions to eastern philosophies, Taoism, Buddhism and more. The need to be able to change ones present circumstances and that there is hope for some sort of redemption can oft times serve as the energy we need to continue. I wanted to depict Icarus and Daedalus as walking off together post death, having washed ashore and giving the impression that they were both able to atone for their choices. I believe currently with cancel culture being so rampant that we forget that redemption is possible. No we don't forget the errors and missteps but we do grant agency for those that wish to atone, the opportunity to do so. It's empathy; from our cousins/friends that are returning citizens, those who burned bridges, disgraced heroes, or family that just did us plain dirty, though painful and seemingly unforgivable we have to remember that if not for grace, where would we be? We all for short, we all purposely from time to time self sabotage and make sure that we fall short. So motes and eyes and stones and such. Some things are irreparable, but are they forgivable? The song was produced by the incomparable @sunnynorway I shot this with the Fuji XT3. On an abnormally beautiful day in DC. The project is out on all platforms. Shouts to @the_orchard_ and @bandcamp the film is on the site. Link to everything - up top.

St. FedUp. Pronounced Saint FedUp, the patron saint of the African diaspora in response to the crimes against our humanity. The song is a lamentation for those taken unjustly. I imagined Daedalus in the context of HUBRI$ feeling this way after being incarcerated for his genius as he was in the service of Minos a heartless tyrant who sent youths to die in revenge for the death of his son. I ain't gon hold you but I could go on and make some comparisons,given the current state of affairs, I'll let you do that on your own. Shouts to @loujonesiv for wholly embodying the spirit I wanted to capture in an image; one at one's end with no more but wrath to mete out. I shot this with the Fuji Xt-3 18-55mm. @fujifilmx_us #madeindc #hechoendc #weoutche #photography (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7C0BfCBEZs/?igshid=1wu49yi96tsn5

Slight lengthy read: Shake it Off is about readying oneself for freedom. I imagined it as the song Daedalus sang as he crafted the wings that would eventually be the vehicle for he and Icarus' escape from their prison. In the second verse I reference "White Tiger" a book by Aravind Adiga whose main protagonists also sought freedom from a number of constructs. The image I wanted was that of Icarus and Daedalus bound, but not with typical shackles, I saw them with nomadic like headdresses with prayer beads as their bindings. Shouts to @glorianauden who facilitated procuring my dream location @_hasheem and @loujonesiv for being willing subjects. @halcyoninspires for the challenge and space to bring this project to fruition. All shot with the @fujifilmx_us xt-3 by you're a truly.

Life has a funny way of echoing lessons that you’ll always need as point of reference when it comes to blessings. Here’s an example of how the people “closest” to you can try to finesse you. I uploaded the entire session to my YouTube channel, but in all honesty, this was the tempo of the whole video. And as a result, you’ll see dude getting progressively frustrated. When I get frustrated, I just go back to the basics until I find an opening. But as y’all can see here, other techniques people use to overcome their frustration aren’t as, how can I say this, “classy”. Now, . . . I’m not close to main man, but in this example, the “close” word is used in the context of proximity, but in a figurative tense that’s in accordance to people whom you are close to by way of bond, you can see the correlation. And just like I so calmly reacted, be sure to do the same so if the cabrón tries again, you’re in the position to switch-up, and teach them a lesson on how you’re not to be fucked with!

New single "MORE" from the upcoming album HUBRI$ available on all streaming services. MORE addresses the argument regarding "conscious or political" hip hop and the duality facing most artists that aren't monoliths. what happens to those that choose to create beyond the tangible aesthetic? Magnification vs marginalization and the growing waves of mediocrity. Just one of themes examined on HUBRI$.
